the advertisements on the BBC website. i think its ludicrous.

call me sad, but i cant tell you how angry that makes me feel. so not only are they getting tv licences fees from us (including me who hasnt got a pot to piss in), but they are also raking it in from advertisements

    Shouldn't be, suspect you are viewing the international version that is funded by advertising.

    No adverts there for me. Are you able to take a screenshot so I can see what you mean?! I'm very curious.

    Are you using a Proxy or VPN? If you don't know what they are, then probably not :P But to check - http://whatismyipaddress.com/ - where on the map are you? However, you've posted a bbc.co.uk link - so I assume that's not the issue.

    All UK users get automatically forwarded to .co.uk (even if you try and visit .com by typing it in) - and .com is the only one backed by advertising I think. If not, you may want to scan your computer for adware. (Ad-Aware is free and will let you do that)

    Perhaps post up a screen shot?

    I haven't got that - instead at that position there's a rolling list of news stories to click on to watch/listen to.
    As Lucky says - are you cloaked or anonymised?

    How strange. Do you use an IP clOaker that makes you appear outside our country ?

    Yeah, I'm assuming it's the international version as it's exactly where the iPlayer/multimedia content usually is..

    Did you install any new programs etc last night? If so - I haven't got a clue!
